Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel...they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer...It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.
Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

Creigiau & St Fagans
Creigiau is a dormitory settlement in the north-west of Cardiff. The village currently
has about 1,000 houses and a population of approximately 2,400 people.
Creigiau's former industrial centre was a quarry, which opened in the 1870s and closed
in 2001. The village was linked to Cardiff and Barry by a railway closed as part
of the Beeching cuts, and the station was located on the eastern edge of the village.
In the mid 1970s, housing estates sprang up to accommodate commuters.
St. Fagans (Welsh Sain Ffagan) is an area in the west of the city of Cardiff.
To the south lies the village of Michaelston-super-Ely, and to the east the suburb
of Fairwater. St Fagans lies on the River Ely, and previously had a railway station
on the South Wales Main Line.
It is home to St Fagans National History Museum (formerly called the Museum of Welsh
Life) and St Fagans Castle.
In 1648, the Battle of St Fagans took place close by.
